[Bug 246067] Re: Kernel panic during boot in VirtualBox with kernel 2.6.26.3-generic

As everyone said before, this problem is relative to the VT-x / AMD-V
setting.

This setting is relative to hardware virtualization support either by
your CPU and, as lylepratt wrote, your motherboard. You can find more
information about Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) and AMD
Virtualization (AMD-V) supported CPUs on the Hardware support section of
this Wikipedia x86 virtualization page
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD-V).

Activating this option on an hardware which don't support it (CPU and/or
motherboard) will not change anything and you will not be able to boot
any of these three first alpha.

As found on the Ubuntu KVM Wiki page
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM): To see if your processor
supports one of these, you can run the following command. If nothing is
printed, it means that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualisation.
Otherwise, it does - but you still need to make sure that virtualisation
is enabled in the BIOS.

egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

For information, I'm running Hardy 8.04.1 AMD64 and VirtualBox 1.6.2 on
an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (no AMD-V support).
